I have an excel spread sheet with a lot of information on it and i would like to export it to MySql and so i can post it on the net and make it searchable. Can anyone one help of piont me in the right direction. Thank you

Export your spreadsheet as a text file. (I tend to use tab-delimited, since sometimes data may have quotes, apostrophes, or commas.) View the text file with a text editor first to make sure it exported the way you expected. Then, use the LOADDATAINFILE command to load your data into the MySQL table. (Make sure that your end-of-line characters are either unix or that you correct for it when you use the LOADDATAINFILE command.)
